If you use Ladies and Gentlemen, then I wouldn't then say parents as well. Boys and girls sounds as if the speaker is older, so how about Ladies & Gentlemen, teachers and fellow pupils...?

Whatever you choose, avoid 'dear'. Some students do value their teachers, but don't generally address them (in speech) as 'dear'.
